Finnish folk metal icons Ensiferum have served a video for "The Howl". The track is taken from the band's Winter Storm full-length, released in October 2024 via Metal Blade Records.
"The Howl" follows the band's "Fatherland" video, which told of a remote tribe who had been fighting against the Winter Storm Vigilantes.
"In 'The Howl'", Hinkka elaborates, "we leap ahead many years from the battle of 'Fatherland.' The young boy grew up and became a shaman. His people are losing the war and as his last deed, he calls the Old Spirits one last time. He sacrifices his mortal form, and becomes a spirit wolf and starts his journey to find The One to avenge for his people's fate. This song is very Ensiferum-ish to the core: catchy melodies, powerful harsh vocals and singalong chorus. We've already played it on a few gigs; it's obviously a great live song!"
